[edit] Mythology of Mexico
Hello. I have proposed an article that you have created for deletion. The article about Mythology of Mexico is not written in an encyclopedic style but is rather a collection od anecdotes, it cites no sources, it frequently misrepresents the origins and content of the tales it contains and it is not aptly named. I suggest that you rework the article completely into an actual encyclopedic style and move it to a more suitable title: for example "Mexican folklore" or something in that vein. In English the word mythology, as I believe it is also the case for the Spanish word mitología, is normally used for tales with an origin within a religious framework. Mexico being as you yourself write in the first paragraph of your article, a country with widely differing cultural and religious roots does not share a single mythology. I understand that many of the tales that you include in the article are widely known within Mexico and are considered a part of the national heritage - but this still does not mean that they form a "Mexican Mythology". They are rather folk tales, although some of them have origins in indigenous mythologies. I hope that you understand my point, and that I have been able to get it across without offending you.
Hola. He nominado para ser borrado un articulo que usted ha escrito. El articulo sobre mitología de México no está escrito en un estilo apto para una enciclopedia, es en efecto una colección de cuentos populares mexicanos, no cita ningunas fuentes, frequentemente se equivoca sobre los origenes de los cuentos y de detalles de los cuentos contenido, y no tiene un titulo apropriado - por lo tanto que México es un país y no una religion. Me permito sugerirle que vuelva a escribir el articulo en un estilo mas apropropiado para una enciclopedia y que lo mueva a un titulo mas apto para su contenido: podría ser por ejemplo "Mexican Folklore" o "Folktales of Mexico". En inglés la palabra "Mythology", como en español mitología, normalmente denota cuentos de origen religioso. México, siendo, como usted escribe en el primer parapho del articulo, un país con varías fuentes culturales y religiosos no comparte una mitología. Entiendo que muchos de los cuentos que usted recuenta en el articulo son muy conocidos en toda la republica y que se consideran parte de la herencia mexicana - pero eso no significa que constituyen una Mitología Mexicana. Más bien son cuentos populares, algunos de los cuales tienen su origen en mitologías indigenas. Espero que entienda mi punto de vista y que no le haya ofendido. ·Maunus· ·ƛ· 23:22, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
